No, since the majority of the crimes we are seeing are not tied back to legally acquired firearms

Case and point, the tragedy in Nova Scotia. Most recent report into how the gunman got the fire arms was through a friend smuggling them in through the states when he didn't have a PAL. We should be looking into cracking down on flow of illegal firearms into Canada first before we look at changing purchasing rules. The recent gun violence we are seeing can also be viewed as a symptom of larger societal problems that simply changing restrictions on the purchasing of firearms won't address and will windup delaying an effective solution.
